Glimpse

Providing real time diagnostics & insights to the fingertips of hundreds of thousands of developers daily.

How does Glimpse help?

Once installed, Glimpse inspects web requests as they happen, providing insights and tooling that reduce debugging time and empower every developer to improve their web applications.

• Visual Profiling - Glimpse profiles key server side activities and displays the timing of each in an easy to understand Gantt chart.
• Transparent Data Access - Out of process database calls are expensive. Glimpse lists each of them, so excessive or under-performant queries can be reigned in.
• View Rendering & Resolution - Glimpse provides complete visibility into ASP.NET MVC's view resolution process, including file access paths.
• Route Debugging - ASP.NET routing is a powerful, and sometimes maddening, feature. Glimpse cracks into the black box and exposes how routes are matched.
• Server Configuration - Know everything necessary about a request's origin server including: timezone, patch version, process ID and pertinent web config entries.
• Works For All Requests - Glimpse provides insights for not only the originating request, but also for AJAX requests, historical requests from the past and even requests made from other users.
• ASP.NET WebForms Too - Glimpse's ASP.NET WebForms with the best View State decoder available embedded directly into the server control tree.
• Improved Tracing - Glimpse automatically displays trace statements, eliminating the headache of digging through log files. Popular logging frameworks can be integrated with some slight configuration as well!
